Galaxy Audio CPTS CRICKET POLARITY Test Set

Galaxy Audio’s battery powered Cricket
Polarity/Continuity Test Set makes it easy to determine whether every component in an audio system—from patch bay to console to speakers—is in or out of polarity.

The Cricket tests balanced and unbalanced cables of up to 2,000 feet in length. It will drive a "snake" (even one with transformers), and indicate which of a microphone's XLR connector pins is hot. A glance at the Cricket's red and green LED's can save hours of trouble shooting. No wonder it's an indispensable tool for sound system owners, operators and installers. The
Cricket's palm-sized send and receive units fit into a molded vinyl carrying case.
